Sarah Sanders Called Dennis Rodman With a Message of Thanks from President Trump

Yesterday it came out that Dennis Rodman received a call from White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Well, it turns out VICE News was there and captured video of that moment.

WH Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called Dennis Rodman to thank him for his effort in Singapore and his support of President Trump, according to Rodman’s agent, Darren Prince.

“I just wanted to call in,” Huckabee Sanders said, in a moment captured for Vice News Tonight on HBO. “The president had seen some of your comments over the last several days, and he just wanted me to reach out and thank you for some of the positive things you said and appreciate you being helpful in this process.”

Rodman, who was in Singapore during the summit, said he’s hoping things work out.

“I know he appreciates it,” Huckabee Sanders said, “and again, we appreciate your support, you being here and being so vocal about it.”

Rodman––who also spoke with CNN last night from Singapore––asked about the possibility of speaking with Trump directly at some point. She said they would try to work something out.
